Here's snippet of some test code I've used...

import cgi
from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
    form = {}
    req.content_type = "text/plain"
    req.send_http_header()
    if req.headers_in.has_key("content-length"):
        len = int(req.headers_in["content-length"])
        if len > 0:
            data = req.read(len)
            form = cgi.parse_qs(data)
            for l,y in form.items():
                req.write(l + ": " + y[0] + "\n")
    else:
        if (req.args):
            form = cgi.parse_qs(req.args)
            for l,y in form.items():
                req.write(l + ": " + y[0] + "\n")
    return apache.OK

Hope it helps...
